OK, I'll report it officially. Unless I'm mistaken, this seems like a 
significant regression, in that full-screen mode is simply not working---the 
root window becomes "lost" forever after one application of command-option-a. 
Try starting X11 by typing xeyes in Terminal, with X11 set for full-screen 
mode.
Then do command-option-a twice in succession. No more gray root window.

Things seemed much better with the X11.bin from Dec. 17; I just put it back in 
place and checked.
